this whole www.leonardclark.com thing. its one thing to support a friend willing to stand up to this case. But now my phone is tapped, i am being monitored, and am asked to seek counsel pending a hearing. Anyone ever been to a court marshal? are civilians often brought in as witnesses? How about helping a soldier speak truth to power? Will I be prosecuted under military law? Confused, nervous... but still moving forward.

|
from your post I'd say it's time to get a lawyer. Just to be on the safe side.

| 4. Stand tall and look 'em in the eye-- just before you spit in it. |
|
They're WAY more afraid of you than you have to be of them-- they greatly fear the truth, and they know you have it.
And if you have anything relevant to add to a trial, yes, you can be called before the panel.

I am one. But I wouldn't THINK of appearing before a criminal tribunal without someone to listen to the questions with a clear head, because I sure as hell would be too scared to listen analytically.
Seriously, mate, get some professional legal help. Don't go down there and hope everyone will be nice to you.

| 9. You aren't legally bound by the Uniform Code of Military Justice |
|
as a civilian.
But (from a non-lawyer), there might be civil codes someone might throw at you.
Don't discuss the case on the phone or in your home at all. Get a lawyer fast.
